With over 1,400 tornadoes and widespread flooding, we have already seen too much loss of life from natural disasters this year. A bright spot in these terrible reports is when we hear a survivor say, "I got the warning, and I got to safety." This is the crucial premise of all alerts and warnings. We may not be able to protect every single person from every disaster, but if we can get timely, accurate information about imminent danger to people in harm's way, they can take action to save themselves and their loved ones. Alerts provide the information that turns precious seconds into survival.
One of the FCC's primary statutory obligations is to promote the safety of life and property through the use of wire and radio communications, and we are committed to this responsibility. We recognize this should be a team effort, and the FCC works closely with FEMA to bring the future of emergency alerting to consumers.
In 2008, the FCC adopted rules allowing wireless carriers to voluntarily transmit emergency text-like alerts to subscribers' cell phones and other mobile devices. Since then, the FCC, FEMA, the wireless industry and state and local governments have worked to make a personal localized alerting network (or PLAN) a reality. Four carriers – AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon – have committed to making PLAN available in New York City by the end of the year, and these carriers and others will begin to deploy PLAN in other parts of the country by April 7, 2012, the deadline set by the FCC.
PLAN will be an important complement to other alert systems -- like the familiar Emergency Alert System -- by using new cellular broadcast technology to allow government officials to send text-like emergency alerts to everyone in a targeted geographic area who has an enabled mobile device, at no charge to the consumer. PLAN creates a "fast lane" for alerts, so critical information is guaranteed to get through, even if there's congestion on a carrier's network. The way this technology works neither the alert initiator nor anyone administering the system will know who receives an alert -- PLAN cannot be used to monitor wireless devices or an alert recipient's location.
EAS requires radio and television broadcasters, cable operators, and satellite providers to have equipment that can deliver emergency alerts to the public from as high up as the President. Although the state and local components of the EAS are tested regularly, to date, the EAS has never been tested on a nationwide basis. To remedy this, FEMA and the FCC have announced the first top-down, nationwide test of all components of the EAS at 2:00 p.m. EST, on November 9th of this year. We are working with FEMA to be sure the public is aware of the nationwide test before it occurs.
911 is another key element of public safety communications. Today, the average American sends about 20 texts a day, and the average teenager sends over 100, so it may come as a surprise to know that you can't reach 911 via texting. If your child winds up in an emergency situation and texts 911 for help, that "call" for help will go unanswered. The FCC is looking at how to ensure that 911 call centers have access to broadband technologies to communicate with 911 dispatchers and to accelerate the deployment of next generation 911 which could allow the public to send text messages, video and photos to 911. We aren't there, yet, but we're working closely with everyone involved to get there.

This scanning electron microscope image shows a zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowire photodetector device grown by photolithography. Nanowires geometry and structure make them both sensitive to light and efficient low-noise signaling devices, so they are ideally suited for applications involving light—such as detection, imaging, information storage, and intrachip optical communications. In addition, different types of nanowires can be combined to create devices sensitive to different wavelengths of light. Zinc oxide's (ZnO) electrical, optoelectronic, and photochemical properties have led to its use in solar cells, transparent electrodes, and blue/UV light-emitting devices. • SIZE: The separation between the "fingers" is 2 µm. • IMAGING TOOL: Scanning electron microscope

Hamilton Nolan delivers a much-needed dose of perspective for journalism's "me" generation. (NB: I'm totally guilty of much of what Nolan savages in his short essay.)
Left unsaid in most discussions of this sort of writing is the fact that most people's lives are not that interesting. Certainly, simple math will tell you that a 20 year-old has only a limited store of really compelling personal stories to tell. Most people who decide to base their writing careers on stories about themselves end up like bands that used their entire lifetime's worth of good material in their first album, and then sputtered uselessly when it came time for the follow-up. Sure, you can extract some thoughtful stories of humiliation from a college class. And sure, you can get some of them published. But that is not a career plan. Writing about yourself can be part of a balanced journalism diet, but it sure ain't a whole fucking meal. By plundering your own life for material, you are not investing in yourself as a writer; you're spending the principal. Soon, it will all be used up. There is nothing more painful to watch than a writer desperately grasping at ever less-important aspects of their own lives in order to make word counts, until they must simultaneously eat lunch and be writing about eating that lunch at the same time. It is the most small-minded interpretation of "journalism" there is. It is sad.

Farmers and ranchers will for the first time need a prescription from a veterinarian before using antibiotics in farm animals, in hopes that more judicious use of the drugs will reduce the tens of thousands of human deaths that result each year from the drugs' overuse.
The Food and Drug Administration announced the new rule Wednesday after trying for more than 35 years to stop farmers and ranchers from feeding antibiotics to cattle, pigs, chickens and other animals simply to help the animals grow larger. Using small amounts of antibiotics over long periods of time leads to the growth of bacteria that are resistant to the drugs' effects, endangering humans who become infected but cannot be treated with routine antibiotic therapy.
At least two million people are sickened and an estimated 99,000 die every year from hospital-acquired infections, the majority of which result from such resistant strains. It is unknown how many of these illnesses and deaths result from agricultural uses of antibiotics, but about 80 percent of antibiotics sold in the United States are used in animals.
Michael Taylor, the F.D.A.'s deputy commissioner for food, predicted that the new restrictions would save lives because farmers would have to convince a veterinarian that their animals were either sick or at risk of getting a specific illness. Just using the drugs for growth will be disallowed and, it is hoped, this will cut their use sharply. The new requirements will also make obtaining antibiotics more cumbersome and expensive.
"We're confident that it will result in significant reductions in agricultural antibiotic use," Mr. Taylor said. "That's why we're doing this."
Just how broadly farmers use antibiotics simply to promote animal growth is unknown. About 80 percent of antibiotics used on farms are given through feed, and an additional 17 percent are given in water. Just 3 percent are given by injection.
The F.D.A. believes that veterinarians will be far less likely to endorse indiscriminate drug uses. While doctors have the power to use drugs in ways not approved by the F.D.A., veterinarians are allowed to give a prescription for antibiotics in feed and water only if such uses are approved by the F.D.A.
Dr. Christine Hoang of the American Veterinary Medical Association said that her organization supported the new rules, although she said that some remote or small farmers might have trouble abiding by the rules since there are fewer than 10,000 large-animal veterinarians in the United States.
Antibiotics were the wonder drugs of the 20th century, and their initial uses in humans and animals were indiscriminate, experts say. Farmers were impressed that antibiotics led to rapid animal growth and began to add the drugs to feed and water, with no prescriptions or sign of sickness in the animals.
By the 1970s, public health officials had become worried that overuse was leading to the development of infections resistant to treatment in humans. In 1977, the F.D.A. announced that it would begin banning some agricultural uses. But the House and Senate appropriations committees — dominated by agricultural interests — passed resolutions against the ban, and the agency retreated. In the years since, the issue of antibiotic overuse in animals and drug resistance has become one of the leading public health concerns worldwide. Those concerns have over recent years even convinced some in the agricultural community that action was needed.
The new rules generated mixed reactions from both public health advocates and agricultural trade associations. Laura Rogers of the Pew Campaign on Human Health and Industrial Farming called the new rules "the most sweeping action the agency has undertaken in this area," while Caroline Smith DeWaal of the Center for Science in the Public Interest criticized them as "tragically flawed" because they relied too much on voluntary industry efforts.
The Animal Health Institute, an association of animal drug makers, welcomed the new rules. But R. C. Hunt, president of the National Pork Producers Council, said that small farmers and ranchers would have a hard time following the new rules, which "could eliminate antibiotics uses that are extremely important to the health of animals."
Initially, the F.D.A. is asking drug makers to voluntarily change their labels to require a prescription; federal officials said that drug makers had largely agreed to the change. If some fail to impose the restrictions, the agency will consider a more forceful ban, Mr. Taylor said.
The reason for the reliance on voluntary efforts is that the F.D.A.'s process for revoking approved drug uses is lengthy and cumbersome, officials said. The last time the F.D.A. banned an agricultural use of a medically important antibiotic against the wishes of its maker, legal appeals took five years. In this case, hundreds of drugs are involved, each with myriad approved uses in various animals.
"You and I and our children would be long dead before F.D.A. could restrict all of these uses on its own," Ms. Rogers said.
Last month, Judge Theodore H. Katz of the Southern District of New York ordered the F.D.A. to begin the process to ban indiscriminate agricultural uses of penicillin and tetracycline because of dangers to human health. The agency hopes that the rules it announced Wednesday achieve the same result.
This year, the Obama administration announced restrictions on agricultural uses of cephalosporins, a critical class of antibiotics that includes drugs like Cefzil and Keflex, which are commonly used to treat pneumonia and strep throat.
For most drug makers, there are compelling reasons to cooperate. Many of the companies manufacture both animal and human drugs but earn the vast majority of their profits in the human sphere. Any company seen to undermine human health could earn doctors' disapproval and potentially hurt their most important business.
But Ms. DeWaal of the science center said that she believed the industry would not follow through on its promises but would instead await the next election in hopes of an administration friendlier to its interests. She condemned the F.D.A. for failing to restrict these drug uses outright. "The agency is afraid to use its authority," she said.

Alumna, Boston
At BCG, Challengers go against expected thinking and inspire their teams to be truly innovative. Kornelia is unafraid to try new things.
BCG is such a well-designed vehicle for empowering people in any role to have an impact and fully achieve their goals and potential. The opportunities to collaborate on an even playing field with such talented colleagues while still having the independence and ownership over your work seems truly unique.
I got my start in the aviation industry, which gave me the experience and confidence to land a job as a consultant for my dream company at the BCG Budapest office. While I must admit to moments where I've felt overwhelmed and unsure of myself, considering the talent and high expectations that make this company what it is, I wouldn't trade the challenges of the last ten years for anything.
At BCG I've been able to travel and work in more than 20 countries around the world. I've met more than 100 CEOs, scientists, and prominent public figures in my home country of Hungary and across Europe.
I'm most proud of: the positive yet productive work environment that I've learned here and strive to pass along to my team; the business analytics function of marketing, which I helped shape from day one; and the office ramp-up I led in India. I'm grateful to work for a company I'm genuinely proud of for the way it treats its employees and the amazing philanthropic and socially responsible initiatives it supports all over the globe.
Kornelia has an economic sciences degree from Kassel University and an MBA from Corvinus School of Economics.
It took a few months after I joined before I started to understand the capabilities and strengths that earned me this seat at the table. All of us are different, and there is a good reason for each one of us to be here. Once I stopped doubting the value I added and also experienced the trust I can create with open communication to fully own my work and accept input, I really felt at home.
First of all: BCG has given me so many opportunities with different roles and promotions, sponsored my MBA, moved me to various roles and geographies (Vienna and then Boston), and trusted me with impactful projects, such as the team ramp-up in India. BCG has constantly supported me with new opportunities as I reached new stages of my personal growth or changes in preferences due to my personal life.
I was assigned to ramp up a global marketing team in New Delhi after the company decided to start a global services office in India. For two years, I spent a lot of time in India finding and hiring talent and starting a team. It was an incredible experience—both professionally and personally. I moved to Boston in 2014 and met my now husband here—also an interesting international experience!

Republicans Continue to Ignore Critical Job Creation Legislation
Katie Grant, Daniel Reilly, 202-225-3130
Today we concluded another week under this "do-nothing" Republican Congress with no action on critical legislation. Once again, House Republicans refused to take up comprehensive legislation that would create jobs or restore certainty to our economy. They are now heading home for their ninth recess, despite calls from Democrats urging the House of Representatives to stay in session to address critical legislation. Republicans' summer agenda does nothing to address the largest issues facing our country, including job creation, deficit reduction, a plan for restoring our nation's transportation infrastructure, preventing student loan rates from doubling, and extending the tax cuts for middle class without holding them hostage to tax cuts for our nation's wealthiest.
That's why it was particularly disappointing to hear House Republicans suggest that they would consider a short-term extension of a highway transportation bill. A long-term transportation bill will provide much needed certainty by creating jobs and investing in our economy. The Senate passed a highway bill with overwhelming bipartisan support. House Republicans need to stop wasting time, and work with us to complete this legislation.
Additionally, on July 1, student loan interest rates will double if Congress does not take action. Instead of addressing this issue and providing students with financial security, House Republicans have played political games by offering controversial measures to pay-for a bill to prevent interest rates from going up. We must address this issue swiftly, and I will continue to call on Republicans to bring a bipartisan to the Floor.
Sincerely yours,
P.S. Please invite your friends and family to sign up for this newsletter to learn about what House Democrats are doing to lead America in a new direction.

Catch a fish you can brag about on your next fishing trip, when you use a fly reel to bring him in. Fly reels are specifically used for fly fishing, which is a distinct angling method in which artificial flies are used to attract fish. These flies are cast with the help of fly rods and fly line. Fly reels are used to store fly line and provide drag when you're fighting a heavy or fast-moving fish.
Many fly reels for fishing are convertible or ambidextrous, meaning both right- and left-handed anglers can operate them. This comes in handy especially if you intend to share your reel with your fishing buddies or if you plan to teach your children how to fly fish.
Fly reels come with many variations. Some are designed for freshwater fishing, while others are for saltwater fishing only. Some popular fly reels are used to catch bass, while others are specifically for panfish. Some reels accept lines with a weight of 3 to 5 lb. whereas others accept lines with weights up to 8 or 9 lb. Some fly reels have a line backing capacity of 30 yards/20 lb. while others have a line backing capacity of 160 yards/20 lb.

text: Hi all, not only have I relatively recently started playing guitar but I am the rhythm guitarist/lead singer of a band. I am in desperate need of an electric guitar that can handle all spectrums of the indie genre, from vibing hooks to thrashing chord sequences and should also look very sexy. Preferably avoiding strats aswell. My budget is about £200-£300 but the quality to price ratio is paramount to me. I could also do with a couple of suggestions for an overdrive pedal and singing equipment. Cheers fellers, Rob xx

More than just a coffee shop
Although the Chugiak Coffee Shop continued to be a common meeting place for the town's civic organizations, the shop's owners, Cloyce and Justine Parks, soon saw the need for a grocery and service station. The Palmer Highway (now the Old Glenn) was the only connecting road between Anchorage, Palmer and all points north. So they added a small grocery, a candy store and a service station to their complex that became known locally as Parksville.
A little 4-by-6-inch, four-page brochure they had printed is in the Chugiak-Eagle River Historical Society's archives. The brochure contains the following information about each of their businesses:
Is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
A full line of groceries with many food items priced lower than in the city.
General stock of country store merchandise — Hallmark cards — notions — Kitchenware, electric supplies, etc.
PICNIC NEEDS — Have you forgotten to bring paper plates, spoons, cups?
FISHING SUPPLIES — Did you bring the right size hooks? Got the kind of bait you need?
Will service your car while you eat
Gasoline at Parks is only thirty cents. Twenty gallons or more rates a further reduction, and if you are a hundred-gallon customer, you get a special trucker's discount. Note number of big trucks stop here…and the cars that bring extra cans to be filled.
Oil Changing—Greasing—Tire repairing in quick order.
New Tires—Batteries—Spark Plugs—At the regular "name brand" prices you would pay in the city.
White gas for your camp stove. Kerosine and Stove Oil. Tow Trucks at your Service — Light or heavy duty.
We are proud of our Alaskan made candies. They are made from the finest ingredients imported from all over the world here to our own kitchen in Chugiak. Deliciously flavored and perfectly blended to selected recipes by Nora Collette, they are the finest money can buy.
Select your own favorite varieties and see them packed. There are plain boxes from half pound sizes up…Or you may want a fancy box full of nuts and candies with beautiful ribbons and bows. Order one made up while you are eating.

We were amazed last time we mentioned the iPhone camera's medical abilities: there's an app to monitor not only heart rate, but also heart rhythm, respiration rate and blood oxygen saturation. Yeah, and now it turns out your iPhone can be turned into a Geiger counter without the need of an extra accessory like the one from Scosche we talked about a while ago. See, all you have to do is block the camera with dark tape (electrician's tape will do) and run this app, the Wikisensor. Turns out that radioactive particles can go through dark tape and be detected by the sensor on the iPhone's camera as little flashes. Since no visible light is supposed to be coming through, the app correlates the little flashes to radioactivity. Its detection threshold is 5 MicroSieverts per hour.
Watch the video below to get an idea of what radioactivity looks like to your iPhone's sensor. The Wikisensor application seems to cost $1 or 0,79 €.

From the earliest days of the organization, AWI has worked to foster better care and handling of animals in research facilities by encouraging laboratory personnel to provide the animals with comfortable housing with conspecifics; veterinary treatment including pain relief; and the opportunity to engage in species-typical behaviors—while sparing them needless suffering.
AWI strongly supports Russell and Burch's "3Rs": replacement of animals in research with alternatives; reduction in the number of animals used in experiments; and refinement of the care and treatment of the animals who continue to be used in research, testing and education.
AWI provides funding to laboratory personnel to conduct research focused on improving the housing and handling of animals in research, and has been at the forefront of efforts to provide nonhuman primates with social housing which addresses their behavioral needs to the greatest extent possible. AWI is a strong proponent of teaching animals to cooperate during routine procedures rather than using stress-inducing removal from the 下载万家彩票 cage and forced restraint.
Strict enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act, the major federal statute on the protection of animals in research, is one of AWI's primary goals. Our relentless advocacy made the law's enactment possible in 1966, and helped strengthen and broaden subsequent amendments. AWI remains committed to extending legal protections to all animals in research, including rats, mice and birds. AWI also seeks to end the sale of dogs and cats by random source Class B dealers to research facilities, as many such animals are acquired illegally and kept in squalid conditions.
"Jack" is a cynomolgus macaque who was discarded at an animal control agency after suffering severe neglect. (On the voluntary surrender form the former owner stated "UNWANTED" as the reason for surrender.) Jack is now safe and recovering at OPR Coastal Primate Sanctuary in Longview, WA. One of his favorite activities is to play in the macaque pool, an excellent form of enrichment. Video courtesy of OPR Coastal Primate Sanctuary.

On writing the book
I've always been given to remembrance and remembering--more when I was younger even than when I was President. When I was a young man, I thought about my childhood all the time. It's a Southern thing; we're all obsessed with the past. I was very blessed that both my mother and I saved virtually everything from my childhood. I was always a pack rat.
I never had writer's block once I started. But I did have periods when I had to just get up and drop it--it was just too hot. I have that pretty gripping...

Right now is the best time to test your garden soil. But which "earth exam" should you give? MOTHER EARTH NEWS evaluates the best garden soil tests for 1985. (See the soil test chart in the image gallery.)
Point number one: While the best indicator of your garden soil's quality is how well your crops grow in it, a test of major chemical nutrients should provide a useful check on your plot's condition.
Point number two: The best time to test your soil is in the fall. Not only will any organic nutrients you add in response to the test results have time to decompose in the soil, but you'll be a whole lot more likely to get those results promptly. (You may have to wait six weeks or more to get a mail-ordered kit or audit in spring!)
Point number three: The test you should use is . . . uh, is . . . well, what is the best garden soil test? Have you ever wondered? We often have, so to try to satisfy our curiosity, we carefully unearthed a sample of Eco-Village garden soil—following all the recommended guidelines, such as taking the sample from several representative spots and being careful not to touch it with our hands or galvanized tools. Then we ran some of that sample through five different tests so that we—and you—could compare the results.
MOTHER EARTH NEWS evaluated the best garden soil tests for 2000. We used two do-it-yourself kits: the least expensive Sudbury model ($13.04 at our local nursery) and the LaMotte garden kit (model EL; $25.30 plus shipping from LaMotte Chemical, Chestertown, MD). We also sent off for three soil audits: one by our local agricultural extension service (available—at little or no cost—in most areas of the country) . . . a "standard audit" by Woods End Laboratory (Orchard Hill Rd., Temple, ME; $20.00) . . . and the "basic soil audit" by Necessary Trading Company (New Castle, VA; $19.50). Incidentally, if you decide to send a sample to either of the private labs, be sure to write for a questionnaire and sampling instructions before you do so.
And what did we find out for all our efforts?
The Best Soil Tests? That's a Good Question
The first thing we learned was that no two soil tests use the same language! Their testing procedures and rating systems vary, so you can't directly compare most of their results. For instance, look at our "Test Results" chart under potassium (K). Sudbury says we need 4% K . . . LaMotte says our K level is "very high" . . . the county ag service gives a free-floating "index" number, 286 ... Woods End tells us we've got 780 pounds per acre of the nutrient . . . and Necessary tallies our K at 500 parts per million! Uh, run that by us again?
Backup literature (or, in the case of the extension service, a friendly agent) tells how to interpret these results into low-to-high terms, though, so we did finally understand it all. We included those assessments in parentheses in the chart so you could interpret our feedback, too.
The next thing we learned was a bit more troublesome: The results don't always agree. Well, they all agree that our garden's pH is somewhere between 6.1 and 7.0 (a good plant-growing range), and that we have high levels of potassium and magnesium . . . but after that they range from "medium" to "quite high" on the same nutrient! Not surprisingly, then, the interpretations and recommendations vary, as well.
Sp What's it All Mean?
That's another good question. If you just look at our "Test Results" chart, you'll probably conclude that soil testers are like the proverbial blind men who each feel different parts of an elephant and therefore each decide it's a different creature. But that's not really a fair conclusion. For one thing, we weren't able to include all the detailed backup descriptions of each test in our five-in-one chart . . . and those often resolve some apparent differences. For example, although Woods End assesses our phosphorus (P) levels as "medium" and three of the other tests say it's "high," the company's full report states that, while our "available" level of P is on target, our "reserve" P level is 70 pounds per acre greater than desired. Woods End interprets the overall phosphorus data as "medium," but someone else could look at those same numbers and say they're high. Similarly, Woods End reports that our calcium level of 2,300 pounds per acre is "medium" (Necessary rates it "low"), yet also states that the desired level is 2,900 pounds per acre.
Several other times the interpretation of the data varied more than the data itself. Still, there were some real differences in the five replies. You just can't reconcile LaMotte's "medium" phosphorus rating with Necessary Trading Company's "quite high" one, for instance. And since the do-it-yourself kits involved assessing color variations of liquid in test tubes, those homespun results sometimes depended on who was reading them. Some people we showed that LaMotte phosphorus test to thought the liquid had a light blue tint, indicating a "medium low" level, while others thought the same tube was a darker, "medium"-rating blue.
Equally interesting were the various assessments of nitrogen. While the do-it-yourself kits quite confidently reported nitrogen levels, the results from the three services were much more equivocal. Both Woods End and Necessary admitted that their nitrogen numbers were made-up estimates based on such things as the amount and type of organic matter in the sample, while our local ag service didn't even pretend to be able to measure it there isn't even an N category on its form! Steve Rioch of Necessary explained the nitrogen problem to us: "The irony is that the nutrient that's commonly considered to be the most important one is also the one that's hardest to measure. Nitrogen's so variable depending on soil conditions and so volatile once taken from the ground that you really can't measure it except out in the field."
Quit Stalling: Which Soil Test is Best?
The principal conclusion we were able to draw from the variety of results we got may sound like a cop-out on our part, but we think it's actually quite important: The content of a soil test report depends on the philosophy of the tester. The two kit makers and the extension service apparently hold to the chemical theory of agriculture—the idea that the soil is little more than a medium to hold the plants' roots, so you have to add the specific chemicals that crops take out. Sudbury even gives its results in terms of how much of each nutrient you need to add . . . while the ag service people told us to add nitrogen to the soil even though they admitted complete ignorance of our soil's nitrogen levels! "Why?" we asked. "Because you're growing vegetables," they replied. (Incidentally, if you read our article "Preparing the Soil" in MOTHER N0. 93, you'll know how to substitute organic soil amendments for any recommended chemical ones.)
The people at Woods End seem to have a much more open-minded outlook. Like our gardeners, they clearly have an organic bias and are great believers in the virtues of compost (see their recommendation in the chart). Yet Robert Parties of Woods End told us they suggested compost partly because we told them on our audit questionnaire that the homemade amendment is our primary fertilizer. "If a gardener indicates that he or she always uses 10-10-10-type fertilizers, we'll give our advice in those terms. No sense in recommending something that won't be used." They also seem to run a surprisingly tolerant testing service. While noting that some of our readings were a bit off from ideal, their report doesn't suggest that such variations are cause for concern—a conclusion that's' bound to please anyone who doesn't think chemical analysis is the final word on soil assessment.
Necessary Trading Company seems to be taking a refined organic approach. As Steve Rioch said to us, "You have good fertility. What I'm trying to do is fine-tune your soil to help prevent pest outbreaks and nutritional imbalances in your crops." In our case, at least, such fine-tuning emphasized a balanced relationship between nutrients. Indeed, the words balance and imbalance appeared repeatedly in our report: e.g., "Your pH is out of balance primarily because of an imbalance between calcium, magnesium, and potassium." Necessary also placed special emphasis on the importance of calcium in the soil ("it may very well be the most important of all soil and plant elements") and on cation exchange capacity (and its balance). The latter refers to the number of calcium, magnesium, and potassium ions in the soil, ions that help the soil hold nutrients.
"The Percentage of Milliequivalents of the Reserve Value Index . . ."
Another distinction between the soil tests is how easy or difficult they are for the gardener to understand and follow. The worst report in this category was the one from our agricultural extension service: It was clearly geared to the commercial chemical farmer (or the closet chemist!) and was quite intimidating. On the other hand, our local agent was readily available to explain the results in lay terms (and the test was free!).
The LaMotte and Sudbury size-ups were easier to understand than the county ag's, and both companies provided useful explanatory booklets about soil and fertilizers. (The kits also give you the capability of repeating your tests more than a dozen times.) LaMotte's literature was the more complete of the two—and its kit a good bit easier to use. It was also more sophisticated; some of the LaMotte tests required twice as many steps as the equivalent Sudbury ones.
The Woods End and Necessary reports were both a pleasure to read. Woods End comes with a personal, down-to-earth overview of the results. (Ours included the flattering statement, "I hope you are not having problems with the soil, because I would be hard put to offer any help.") The full report was easy to digest and the enclosed discussion of terms a definite help to anyone who ever slept through part of chemistry class.
Necessary managed to provide the most thorough report of all, while presenting its analysis in a clear and understandable manner. Since its audit questionnaire was also the most thorough—including questions on predominant weeds and persistent bug problems—its recommendation sheet covered areas the others didn't address ("sprinkle diatomaceous earth for slugs"). The additional three-page, detailed report explained the role of each nutrient and the effect of any problem with our levels. (Necessary also offers a 42 page booklet, called "What Makes My Garden Grow," with each test.)
What We'll Do
So now that we've been blessed with an array of agricultural assessments, just what are we going to do in our garden? Well, if our comparisons make nothing else clear, they certainly show that a soil test is just one gardening tool, not the answer, so we'll combine the data gleaned from the tests with our own experience with the soil and the crops at the Eco-Village. And since we're ardent organic growers who believe in cultivating healthy soil first and foremost ("feed the soil, not the plant," the saying goes), we'll give more weight ourselves to the Woods End and Necessary reports. Susan Glaese, our head gardener, says, "I figure our soil deserves about a `three-star' rating. It's definitely not a 10-10-10 wasteland, but it's not growing Findhorn-size cabbages, either. I agree with Necessary that our humus levels are too low, but that's because in the past we've had to spread our compost over 130 raised beds! I've made the garden smaller now, so I should be able to use more compost in each growing area. And I think I'll follow Necessary's recommendations for increasing our calcium levels and avoiding additional potassium it'll be interesting to watch the garden over the next year and see if such measures make any difference in our crops."
But What Should You Do?
One thing for sure: Don't get five soil tests! It's a bear to sort them all out . . . and hard to deal with their contradictions. Instead, we'd recommend that—if you choose to test your soil at all—you pick the approach that suits your own gardening philosophy. If (perish the thought) you'd like to sprinkle an N-P-K formulation on your plot and be done with it, go with one of the first three tests we used. If the organic approaches of the "moderate" Woods End or "balancing" Necessary audits sound like your cup of (manure) tea, pick one of those—both companies were impressively helpful and informative.
Most important, whichever test you pick, don't automatically believe everything it tells you. Heck, even professional soil testers will admit that what we don't know about soil is a whole lot greater than what we do. So let your own eyes, hands, and crops be the final authorities on the state of your soil.
Sizing Up Your Soil
Bill Wolf of Necessary Trading Company gave us these suggestions for non-chemically assessing the state of the soil:
[1] Organic matter: If your soil has a high humus level, it should look dark and have an appealing "earthy" smell.
[2] Texture: Roll a handful of medium dry soil into a ball. If it holds its shape, you've got a substantial amount of clay in your soil . . . and if you can further roll the ball into a "sausage, " you've got a lot of clay.
If you can make scratches on the surface of your clod, it's got a significant sand content, but if it feels somewhat greasy in your hand, your soil's got a fair amount of silt. If that handful crumbles when you try to ball it up, your soil has a nice, balanced texture.
[3] Root development: Dig a hole two feet deep in your garden and examine it to see where your plants' roots are. If they're going down the full two feet, your soil is fairly friable. If they run lateral at some point, though, you've got a compacted layer—plowpan or hardpan—that needs to be broken up.
[4] Drainage: Now fill that hole with water. The liquid should slowly percolate out into the surrounding soil. If it stays pooled at any level, you have a drainage problem.
[5] Soil fauna: Pick a day when your garden is somewhat moist, dig up an exact 1 inch by 1 foot by 1 foot section of soil, sift through this cubic foot, and count the number of earthworms you find (they'll serve as barometers of all kinds of soil fauna). Ten or more is a good sign of soil life; zero is terrible.
[6] Nitrogen facing: Dig up the roots of some legumes—beans, peas, alfalfa, clover—and examine them for nodules. Break a few of those root lumps open. If they're fixing and storing nitrogen as they should be, they'll be pink inside.
Talking Weeds
Several garden weeds can give you indications of your soil's condition:
Fertile soil: lamb's-quarter, chicory, purslane,
burdock, and dandelion.
Soil with low fertility: fennel, sorrel, mayweed, and chamomile.
Soil with a crust or hardpan problem: horse nettle, morning glory, quack grass, chamomile, field mustard, pineapple weed, and pennycress.
Soil with poor drainage: hedge bindweed, smartweed, white avens.
Acid soil: dock, horsetail, hawkweed, sorrel, lady's thumb.
Salty soil: sea plantain, sea aster, Russian thistle, shepherd's purse.
"Seeing" Nutrient Deficiencies
We asked our friend Don North, an area nurseryman, horticultural consultant, and native plant propagator, to describe the common nutrient deficiency symptoms of garden crops. Don told us that, in general, tomato plants are especially good "deficiency meters" and then listed the shortage symptoms he most often sees:
Nitrogen: Many deficiencies, including nitrogen, show up as chlorosis, a yellowing of leaves. N shortage, though, appears mostly in the older leaves (the young ones hog the available nitrogen) at the bottom of the plant. These yellow and "fire" (get a burnt look). The entire plant may also be stunted.
Iron: The veins keep their green color in iron-deficient plants, but the rest of the leaves yellow or turn light green. (Don's remedy? Iron chelate.)
Sulfur: In this case, the young leaves (including veins) turn chlorotic.
Potassium: K-short crops exhibit yellow streaking, along with curling, mottling, or spotting of older leaves. The plants are often particularly disease-susceptible.
Phosphorus: Plants low in phosphorus are often small, have very dark green or bluish foliage, and red or purplish veins. Poor fruit development is another indication of P deprivation.
Calcium: The classic sign of calcium deficiency in tomatoes is blossom-end rot. Other symptoms are hard to spot: Young leaves and terminal buds may become hooked in appearance or die back at their tops, or the young leaves may remain folded or look wrinkled. (Don recommends Viking brand calcium nitrate—from Norway—for both calcium and nitrogen shortages: "It's one of the best fertilizers around. ")
Boron: If your broccoli and cauliflower stems are soft and brown in the center, your soil's got a boron deficiency.

Central Connecticut women's basketball will reach a national audience this season when the Blue Devils February 3, game against Mount St. Mary's is broadcast live on ESPN3. The Blue Devils and Mountaineers are scheduled to tip-off at 7 p.m. from Knott Arena in Emmitsburg, MD.
The NEC has enhanced its relationship with ESPN3, ESPN's live multi-screen sports network accessible online at WatchESPN.com, on smartphones and tablets via the WatchESPN app, and streamed on televisions through Xbox and Apple TV. ESPN3 will be the home to NEC women's basketball this winter with seven games set to be delivered, a record number for the Conference.
The NEC will enjoy its broadest TV reach to date with the 29-game package.
Among the highlights:
•Every single game will air nationally via ESPN, Fox College Sports (FCS) or the NEC's newest national partner, CBS Sports Network (CBSSN).
•An expanded women's package will be carried by ESPN3.
•The schedule features a record 19 prime time games.
•Comcast SportsNet New England (CSNNE) has been added as a regional partner.
•Longtime NEC regional partner MSG will broadcast 11 games, including three NEC men's tournament contests.
•Up to seven NEC Tournament games will air on a variety of networks.
•All NEC television games will be broadcast in HD.
"The NEC's commitment to promoting its marquee sport of basketball is clearly evident in this year's television and digital packages," said Noreen Morris, NEC Commissioner. "Not only have we enhanced our official collaboration with ESPN through increased exposures on ESPN3, but we have secured national distribution of all 29 television games including one with CBS Sports Network. To complement the national broadcasts, fans can access all other NEC home basketball games free of charge on NEC Front Row."
In March, the NEC men's and women's championship games will also be available on the ESPN family of Networks.
The Central Connecticut women's basketball team will open the 2013-14 season on Friday night at the University of Central Florida. The team will also play Sunday at the University of South Florida before returning to New Britain. The Blue Devils will open at home on Wednesday, Nov. 13, against Rhode Island.

For a Port-themed forum, it seems a shame that we are lacking a Francesinha thread.
Has anyone tried making one? Finding a good sauce recipe is a bit of a challenge. I tried with: some garlic; some chillis; half-a-bottle of lager; one stock cube; about three table-spoons of crushed tomatoes; bay leaves; and a small quantity of Port. Not having any Portuguese cheese to hand, I used a little "pizza topping" mozzarella, which I think is broadly similar and which, in a wild act of heterodoxy, I toasted.
I think, for one person, it had rather too much stock and tomato (hence to bright red colour) but that can be worked on. For the sensitive carnivorousness eyes on , I will not disclose what was between the bread!

Before moving on to George Fest, just a quick note that Chicago-based filmmakers Scott Drucker and Yu Gu are seeking Kickstarter funding for their film Who Is Arthur Chu? It's a documentary about the charismatic Jeopardy champion and they have only until 9:27 AM tomorrow to meet their $50,000 goal. It doesn't seem likely at this point, but maybe a flurry of supporters will come in at the last minute and save the day. Best of luck to Scott and Yu.
At the beginning of yesterday's post about the upcoming The Art Of McCartney tribute CD, I noted that we'll always find new ways to celebrate The Beatles. It's also true that one sure way to inspire people to support a worthwhile cause is to stage a Beatles-related event. Both observations hold true in regard to George Fest, which takes place on September 28th at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles.
All proceeds from this multiple-performer concert will go to The Jameson Neighborhood Fund To Benefit Sweet Relief, an organization created to help musicians cope with the costs associated with medical care. Its supporters include several of today's most popular acts. George Fest is being co-presented by Goldenvoice and The Best Fest.
Among the acts playing their favorite Harrison songs will be George's son Dhani, who has embarked on a successful career with his own band thenewno2. Brian Wilson from The Beach Boys and Ann Wilson from Heart, two artists who contributed to The Art Of McCartney CD, are involved with this project as well. Other notables in the impressive lineup include Nora Jones, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Cold War Kids, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and members of Guster, Spoon, The Killers, Flaming Lips, and Weezer. Tickets for George Fest are now for sale at a reasonable price of $35.00.

Latest Mental Health News
Study Shows Language Delays at Age 5 May Lead to Mental Health Issues in Adulthood
Denise Mann
WebMD Health News
Reviewed By Laura J. Martin, MD
June 28, 2010 -- Children with speech delays may be at greater risk for developing social, emotional, or behavioral problems as adults, according to a 29-year study in the July issue of Pediatrics.
Researchers used a standardized test to measure receptive language skills -- the ability to understand what others are saying -- among 6,941 children at age 5. Follow-up data were available on 72% of these children when they turned 34.
Overall, children who showed signs of delays in receptive language skills at age 5 were more likely to experience mental health problems at age 34 than children who did not experience such delays. These findings were more pronounced among men than women, the study shows.
"The psychosocial consequences of early receptive language problems are pervasive and continue into adult life," conclude the researchers, who were led by Ingrid Schoon, PhD, professor of human development and social policy at the Institute of Education of the University of London. "The needs of children with early language problems are complex, and increased awareness should be paid to the persisting social and psychological difficulties that these children may go on to experience."
Parents Play Crucial Role
Early language delays can affect a child's ability to socialize with peers and make friends. This social isolation can carry over into their adult years. This may manifest itself as trouble cultivating and maintaining relationships and/or holding down a job, both of which can be harbingers for mental or behavioral health problems.
Those children with language delays were more likely to be born to teenage moms or parents with low educational levels than children who did not show signs of language delays at age 5. What's more, parents of language-delayed kids were more likely to be stressed, showed less interest in their child's education, and did not read regularly to their child.
"These findings mirror what we see in practice," says Carl B. Feinstein, MD, the endowed director of child and adolescent psychiatry at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital in Palo Alto, Calif. "Delayed language is a huge risk factor for social and emotional problems, but this link doesn't get as much attention as it should."
"Delayed receptive language is very strongly associated with delays in learning in school, and getting behind in school is a huge risk for emotional problems and poor self-esteem," Feinstein says. "This important and sound new study shows that it also affects how well these kids do in life."
But "parents can do a lot," he says. "How much you read to your children and the attention you pay to their education makes a difference Speaking to your child and taking time to have a back-and-forth conversation is also helpful."
The new findings represent "a call to action," Feinstein says. "If you have concerns, go to the pediatrician and ask for a speech and language assessment, and if the child goes to school, request that the school provide an assessment," he suggests.
Early Intervention Best
"The results from this study suggest that children who experience poor receptive language skills in early childhood are more likely to experience lower levels of mental health in adulthood than the [children] with normal language development," explains Melissa Wexler Gurfein, a speech-language pathologist in New York. "These findings are not surprising as children with poor receptive language skills often fall behind in social situations, as well as academic situations," she tells WebMD in an email.
"With this, a language-delayed child may experience low self-esteem, which, without intervention, may impact on how this child transitions throughout childhood and into adulthood."
This is not to say children with language delays are a lost cause, she says. "It is important to provide the right support and intervention for a child who is experiencing language delays," she says. "The earlier a child receives proper intervention, the more successful that intervention might be."
Wexler's advice to parents and pediatricians? "It is important to identify a child who is suspected of having a language delay and begin treatment for the delay to hopefully not only help the child catch up to his same-age peers, but also to provide the support he needs to be successful in life."
Joslin Zeplin-Paradise, a speech-language pathologist in New York, agrees. "A language delay is not a setup to fail," she tells WebMD. "It is an opportunity to seek help and get to the root cause of the problem," she says, adding that there are many, many potential causes for speech delays.
"When parents go the extra step, their children can -- and often do -- catch up," says Zeplin-Paradise.
That said, "I have not seen a direct correlation between children who are language delayed and children who have psychosocial/emotional issues."

Here we are.
Talking with the other pilot I came over with, the dollar is crashing bad against all foreign currency. Not surprising, given the way they've been treating the printing presses back home.
One thing that struck me as I came in were all the crashed Migs that were still scattered around the airport and I'm told there are still hulks of tanks left over from the war with South Africa down south in Angola. I'm told there was a very large tank battle in Angola. I'll have to do the research on that and read up on it.

That's kinda cool. I have a friend from Angola, and it is very interesting to hear him talk about his country, especially the times during the war where the government(s) didn't take care of anything. He went to my school as a petroleum engineer, as he had worked several years on the oil rigs in Angola.

We are a strange mish-mash of England, Holland, France, Malaysia, India and of course Africa. It's all overlaid with an American veneer, since whoever controls Hollyweird pretty much controls the culture.
Our casinos are pretty much the only true gun-free zones we have, you don't find me there often (unfortunately my MIL is a regular).
There's hope for Angola, I hear from my 4x4 buddies. Mozambique is doing not too badly, but they started earlier. Zimbabwe may get there in my lifetime but I doubt it.

Be careful out there . . . there are still literally millions of land-mines scattered all across Angola from the decades-long bush war.
My memories of Angola aren't nearly so civilized. The locals didn't seem to want me there; in fact, they shot at me with everything from handguns and AK-47's to RPG-7's, BM-21's and 122mm. artillery pieces, to say nothing of sending MiG-23's to bomb me! Fortunately, they missed every time.
If you get down to the South of Angola, I could give you a few GPS co-ordinates to find some interesting remains from that period. Some of them might still go BANG!, if you try hard enough.

Welcome to another FABULOUS Tlc Blog Hop…"Summer Fun"! Listed below is the hop order. Each of the 14 stops will have a digital freebie to download (for your personal use). Start by downloading the bathing beauties below!
Wendy (Me!)
I started out by downloading the image and adding some word art (this is an additional freebie on the Tlc blog!) using Photoshop Elements. Don't have PSE? No problem! You don't need any special software to use the digital images. Simply print the file on card stock and color and embellish however you would like.
I printed the image on Club Scrap® card stock, trimmed it out and distressed the edges with a Tonic paper distresser and some Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
I didn't want just a card panel though. After a little Google searching, I found this Center Step Card Tutorial and bonus video!
I adjusted the instructions a bit to accommodate the wider width of my image. My card base measures 7.5 x 8. The side panels are still cut at 1 inch, but I adjusted the cut and score lines for a 5.5 x 3.5 inch card panel.
I love how it turned out!
I used some colored vellum and stamp images from Club Scrap® to create the waves. I stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with copper foil embossing powder and fussy cut the images. The side panels and photo mat are also decorated with Club Scrap card stock.
I used this mini resin frame to highlight the image. I inked the edges with Versamark ink, dusted with the copper foil embossing powder and heat embossed. I added a few sea shells, a little crab charm and glued everything on with some Glossy Accents.
AND of course, a little sparkle with Diamond Stickles! Be sure to download this word art at your next stop on the Tlc blog.
Do more of what makes you happy!

The licensing expo is set to get underway next week in Las Vegas, which means that we'll be seeing a number of synopses, promo images, and posters in the coming days. Today we've got our first look at a promo image from director M. Night Shyamalan's upcoming sci-fi pic After Earth, as well as the first synopsis for the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs sequel Cloudy 2: Revenge of the Leftovers. After Earth stars Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith as a father-son duo who crash-land on Earth 1000 years in the future and must navigate the abandoned planet to find salvation. The promo image is small, but it does give us a nice look at the film's logo and some of the atmosphere that Shyamalan is reaching for. You can check out some pristine set photos for After Earth right here.
Additionally, the synopsis for Cloudy 2 reveals that our hero Flint Lockwood and his pals are forced to return to their food storm-ravaged hometown of Swallow Falls to battle sentient food beasts that have overrun the island. You had me at "sentient food beasts," Cloudy 2. Hit the jump to check out the image and synopses.
Here's the synopsis for After Earth:
Set 1000 years in the future, a boy navigates an abandoned Earth to save himself and his estranged father after their ship crashes.
Here's the synopsis for Cloudy 2: Revenge of the Leftovers:
In the wake of the disastrous food storm at the end of the first movie, Flint Lockwood and friends are forced to leave their town of Swallow Falls. But when it is discovered that sentient food beasts have overrun the island, they are asked to return to save the world…again.
Here are links to our other coverage from the Licensing Expo:

Tulane confirmed speculation regarding Nixon's future whereabouts Friday, officially announcing in a press release that the cornerback has transferred into the Green Wave football program. Nixon will be eligible to play immediately in 2013, and will have two seasons of eligibility remaining.
Nixon spent the 2010 and 2011 seasons at Memphis, where he started 15 of the 19 games in which he played.

State of Decay Hits Steam Early Access Today
Been waiting for Undead Labs' State of Decay to hit PC? Good news, then, as the open-world zombie game has finally arrived on Steam Early Access.
Because it's only available on Early Access, this is more of a beta test version than the final release. For now, the game is available for free, but only works with an Xbox 360 controller through your PC. However, if you do happen to get the early version, Undead has a nice incentive in place.
"Those willing to throw in with us at Undead Labs and your fellow early adopters will automatically get the final version, completely free, with no need to restart, when we officially launch later this year," wrote Sanya Weathers on the company blog.
The full retail PC version of State of Decay will launch sometime later this year for $20. The developer recommends only those with aspirations of helping Undead make this port the best it can be should be considering the download. As it will largely be a test, players will encounter plenty of issues as Undead works out the kinks of the PC version, and the developer doesn't want newcomers to be dissuaded by the potential pratfalls.

When I decided with Guru Lama that this blog will end and that before it happens I will set out to write more articles that will focus on empowering and teaching you about handling, understanding, and fixing your Feng Shui if it needs to be fixed, I didn't realize that I was setting up myself for a daunting task.
It is very difficult to teach Feng Shui online and to a non – Chinese speaking audience because there are a lot of intricacies in Feng Shui that highly relies on the element of the word. For example, there are words in Chinese that connotes the same thing but because of a minor difference in how it was written would mean that this word is more of a wood element, water element, and so on and so forth.
This is also the reason why I noticed that some of my friends who has taken up online Feng Shui courses usually find themselves having more problems, and I stress AT TIMES, because they were not given the minor but yet very important intricacies.
Nevertheless, I will still try to teach you as much as I can without putting you at risk in understanding something incomplete which might lead to doing a Feng Shui blunder instead.
Today, allow me to share with you in what is called as "LIFE'S EIGHT ASPIRATIONS" in Feng Shui. These 8 aspirations are what makes our life complete and if everything goes well with our life's 8 aspirations it is said that we will be a happy person and also it means that we have a very good luck or good karma.
Our life's eight aspirations consist of the following: (1) Love or Relationship; (2) Descendant Luck; (3) Mentor Luck; (4) Career Luck; (5) Education / Knowledge Luck; (6)Family / Health Luck; (7) Wealth Luck; (8) Fame / Recognition Luck. Not necessarily in this order, but the ideal situation is that they should all be equal and not imbalance. Although truth be told I seldom see a person who has a very balance 8 aspirations, but this doesn't mean that it is bad it just means that he has more of the other than the rest.
Allow me now to discuss each of the aspirations and how to enhance them on a personal level.
First, LOVE & RELATIONSHIP LUCK. We all want to be loved, but this luck is more than finding a romantic love but this controls all aspects of your relationship luck in life. Even family relationship. To enhance this, you can use MANDARIN DUCKS, the DOUBLE HAPPINESS SYMBOL, SURANGAMA MANTRA AMULET(1) or TRADITIONAL SUTRA AMULET(1).
Second, is DESCENDANT LUCK. This luck is about having children, grandchildren. But this luck is also about creativity. To activate this luck for descendant luck, you can use an ELEPHANT WITH THE TRUNKS UP, PEACHES, SURANGAMA MANRTRA AMULET(2), TRADITIONAL SUTRA AMULET(2) or VAJRAPANI RUEL(1). For creativity, you can use a SMALL GLOBE.
Third is MENTOR LUCK which is sometimes called as the BENEFACTOR LUCK. This luck ensures that you'll have the support of your parents, bosses, or that people will always come to your help when you are in need, or the type of people that can help you achieve the things that you want to achieve. To activate or empower this luck, wear a gold or jade image of BODHISATTVA SANGHARAMA or carry the VAJRAPANI RUEL(2).
Fourth is the CAREER LUCK. This is quite self-explanatory but I have to add that this pertain to business advancement also. To activate this luck, carry a RUYI with you or carry the VAJRAPANI RUEL(3) and/or the FOUR DHARMAKAYA RELIC MANTRAS & LAMA ATISHA COMBINED AMULETS(1).
Fifth is the EDUCATION or KNOWLEDGE LUCK! We don't stop learning, even if we are already working we need to continue to learn to make sure that we are ahead of the game. To activate or empower this luck get yourself a GENERATOR CRYSTAL made of AMETHYST or CLEAR QUARTZ. Likewise, you can also have a crystal pendulum worn around your neck.
Sixth is the FAMILY AND HEALTH LUCK. You may ask why family is included here again, shouldn't it be in the love or relationship luck. Actually, as mentioned earlier in the article, family is included in the love/relationship luck but it is also here because one very important thing in Feng Shui is family, we need a healthy family and by healthy it doesn't refer to health as in physical health of the family although it certainly is included also. In Feng Shui, aside from the actual relationships, family is considered as one "being" so it's health has to be taken care of also. Health also here includes avoiding illness, accidents, and violence. So, to make this luck positively good, it is will be good to carry with you the ILLNESS SUPPRESSION AMULET(1), VAJRPANI RUEL(4), and/or the GOLD KALACHAKRA PENDANT. For the family, it is good to place in the house a TRADITIONAL SUTRA AMULET(3) and/or a SURANGAMA MANTRA AMULET(3).
The seventh is WEALTH LUCK. In Buddhism, Taoism, and Feng Shui money is not considered the root of all evil. The root of all evil is our greed. With that in all three, acquiring wealth is actually either encouraged or tolerated. To activate wealth luck, you can read my post entitled – FENG SHUI TIPS TO ENHANCE WEALTH LUCK, FINANCIAL LUCK, AND MONEY LUCK! – but lately and as can be attested by a number of my readers the SPECIAL GOLD PIYAO(1), the VAISRAVANA – DZAMBHALA WEALTH AMULET(1), and the VAJRAPANI RUEL(5) are some of the most powerful wealth amulets that one can have. I haven't been writing a lot of personal testimonies about them only because of my commitment to focus on empowering articles.
And finally, the eight is the FAME or RECOGNITION LUCK. This luck is not just about being famous, but more importantly it is about being recognized. You might say I don't need to be famous, and obviously those who are famous has a very strong fame luck. But remember, even if one doesn't want to be famous, we cannot deny that you have to be recognized for your contribution, or for your effort. To activate this luck, one can carry the FOUR DHARMAKAYA RELIC MANTRAS & LAMA ATISHA COMBINED AMULET(2), VAJRAPANI RUEL(6).
I'm already putting here what you need here because these are perpetual amulets or cures that one needs for each of the 8 aspirations.

#WorkoutWednesday: A HIIT workout from your Life Fitness Trainer of the Month, Susane
Life Fitness Academy (LFA) Trainer of the Month is designed to help you get to know the trainers behind one of the greatest educational resources at Life Fitness. We've introduced you a few already. This month, we highlight Susane Pata of New York, NY.
Susane is a big fan of HIIT workouts and this #WorkoutWednesday, she's sharing a little bit more about how you should work your body during a HIIT workout and a routine you can do on your own.
HIIT has so many benefits, I love it! But it should NOT be done more than three times per week. If you're going to do HIIT, you have to know the difference between moderate intensity performance and high intensity performance. There's a big difference.
When you are doing HIIT, you need to go completely breathless during the short interval, but it's also really important that your recovery is either equal in time of the work interval or a bit longer--up to double the work interval time. If you can keep going after the work interval you did not work hard enough and should pick up the intensity to get the most from your workout.
Here's one of my favorite HIIT routines that you can do at home. All you need is a jump rope, body weight and one set of heavy dumbbells.
WARM UP (5-7 minutes)
- 1 Minute: Jump rope
- 1 Minute: Mobility exercise
- Alternate these movements for 5-7 minutes
WORKOUT (20 minutes)
Perform as many reps as you can in good form during the first set and then try to beat that number on the second set.
- 180-degree squat jumps (30 seconds) / 2 sets with 30 seconds of rest in between
- Push-ups with rotations using heavy dumbbells (30 seconds) / 2 sets with 30 seconds of rest in between
- Scissor jumps (30 seconds) / 2 sets with 30 seconds of rest in between
- Renegade rows with heavy dumbbells (30 seconds) / 2 sets with 30 seconds of rest in between
- Burpees with a tuck jump (30 seconds) / 2 sets with 30 seconds rest in between
- Foam rolling and stretching for 10 minutes
